The New York Times Are Not "Cheap Skanks"
After being cyber-assaulted on Lily Allen's MySpace blog for syndicating pictures of her at her home, which in turn ended up in OK magazine, The New York Times have extended a hand in compassion to the brooding pop tart.
"Reading Allen's post on Myspace today was the first time that I understood it from the celebrities' point of view," the Times culture editor, Sam Sifton revealed. "We are not, at least most us, the cheap skanks she describes. I would hope we get to cover her career for a long time."
Although compassionate to Allen's initial reaction, Sifton explained to reporters that it's fair and legal for the NYT to resell their photographs, but "a third party contractor, not the paper, handles the sale."
Because there was no physical record of Lily's request to keep the pictures from being published in the tabloids, the Times went about business as usual and allowed the contractor to sell the pictures.
Duh!
Always have it in writing!
Sifton does own up to the fact that the paper should have a more watchful eye to what publications their photos are being sold to. He says, "I think, personally, that the flip side of our being fierce about what we get to do, is that we don't misuse the pictures… The third party contractor didn't ask enough questions, and I think we ought to be asking where our pictures end up."
We wonder if Lils will be satisfied with the Times explanation or continue to pout about it online?
Pout!

Rumors say that Pitt is flying to Europe to meet Jen after a breakup with the husband's stealer.
she sucks
Leave Lily alone you fat talentless hack
You care more about Lily than anybody here, Marito!
The New York Times needs every dime it can get its hands on.
Go on Lily!
Just looking at her makes me feel stupid. I never thought that there would be someone else more gross than paris hilton, but at least paris takes a shower or looks like if she does. Lily Allen looks like if she smells and she looks homeless. She's so ugly. She has no talent. She needs to go away.
No one cares about her.
Hey, at least they're acknowledging that they need to make improvements in that department.
This happens when you do not get an education, Lily!! Instead of sucking dick in the classroom you should pay attention what the teacher said. At least you'd know how to sign a contract and protect your rights! Cheap Girl you are!
Re: MISTERMARK –
Even in England we don't give a shit about her. He just can't find anything to post about. It's either this or Disney whores.
the NYTimes is going fucking broke and they deserve to. there is a big difference between pictures and pictures in someone's home. home means privacy and for single use only. the times should've known that and i believe they are liable for their lack of judgment and diligence.
WE, THE NYT, ARE SO SWEET AND INNOCENT IN THAT WE SHOULD HAVE MADE THOSE 3RD PARTY PEOPLE CONDUCT THEMSELVES BETTER.
.
WE WERE SO SWEETLY AND INNOCENTLY ONLY INTERESTED IN THE MONEY.

Your obsession with attacking lily allen is boring your readers.
New York Times are greedy bastards. Now they say they didn't know where the pictures are going. "It's the fault of the contractor". Assholes.

I can't believe you still include photo”s of this child in the blog? After seeing that picture of her last week, that little disgusting looking fattie body with those tiny little (Man Boobs) I'm thinking to myself NEVER look at her again she is deformed and has a pathetic shape?
I like her! I think she's a liitle off, but so are you Perez(I still
I like her! I think she's a little off, but so are you Perez(I still love you). Katy Perry can suck it. Honestly I didn't care for either until I saw that interview. Katy Perry isn't even talented! She only sings songs with awesome beats so you don't pay attention to her voice.
There is only one _New York Times_. Why is the title to this entry using a pluralized verb tense?
she's might try and sue Perez for suggesting she takes coke lol
